The assay aims to identify small molecule inhibitors for pol iota, a DNA polymerase involved in DNA repair and translesion synthesis. Although pol iota has a crucial role in healthy cells, its upregulation in certain cancers raises concerns about its activity. The assay was developed by the NICHD and NIH Chemical Genomics Center, using a high-throughput, fluorescent screening process to identify potential inhibitors in the NIH MLSMR. The goal is to find compounds that can selectively halt the activity of pol iota, without affecting other DNA polymerases like pol eta. Is the molecule effective to this assay?
